I found this one in my aluminum can recycle barrel. Very hot in the galvanized steel trash can with sun beating on it, but apparently he likes it in there. About 1.5 inches in diameter with legs splayed. I've never seen or at least never noticed one like this around my house. We have black widows, white widows and all kinds of other spiders such as orb weavers. This one has a red belly, making me suspect he could be poisonous.
